The disappearance of British backpacker Grace Millane in New Zealand in 2018 made headlines around the world. A week later, Jesse Kempson, a man she met on a Tinder date, was charged with her murder. Grace's story is now being told in a new documentary, The Murder Of Grace Millane.
On 2 December 2018, British backpacker Grace Millane should have been celebrating her 22nd birthday during the trip of a lifetime in New Zealand. Thousands of miles from her home in Essex, the messages and requests for video calls from friends and family kept pinging through to her phone. But they were never answered. Her disappearance made headlines around the world. Grace had been murdered by Jesse Kempson, a 26-year-old man she met through Tinder.
Jurors saw through Kempson's account and he was ultimately found guilty, sentenced to a minimum of 17 years in prison. But campaigners say the rough sex defence in some cases can lead to reduced sentencing. 'People don't really understand the prevalence of the rough sex defence,' says Coan. 'Men are getting away with the most heinous, manipulative, planned, pre-meditated crimes. And they are saying, basically, 'she asked for it'.
